They have to be the same frequency. So I guess it's a harmonic...1st
harmonic.
The primary is basically a HV/high frequency power supply, which happens to
be magnetically coupled to the secondary. In a magnifier, the primary and
secondary are the HV supply, and the tertiary does all the resonating.
